Match Spurs vs Brighton, Sat 8 April, 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So I just came back from grocery shopping (was expecting a loss so didn't want to depress myself), and I come home to find out we've won?

Did I walk through some kind of dimensional gate into a parallel universe on the way back?

Let’s just say we deserved to lose but I guess even Spurs deserve luck sometimes and we got it by the bucket load today. 3 points move on.
 
Chris Sutton on BT Sport (I paraphrase, but this is the gist): "I don't thinkEnglish football is corrupt. But if you wanted to show a match to use as evidence of corrupt one-sided decisions, that would be it."

And before people dump on Sutton, he's been saying how disappointed he is in the type of football Spurs have been playing this season, given the calibre of players at the manager's disposal.
I will say, this match was definitely crooked, but we've been on the receiving end of fishy officiating many times this season.

It would be classic treatment of us if the only match where it's benefited us all season starts some sort of inquiry.

League is as if not more corrupt than any other. In sport, an arena that is supposed to be a meritocracy, that anyone should prosper from such intentioned 'incompetence' is a shame. We are watching the WWF of football...only a matter of time before they have to admit it as well.

And no, I don't like it that my team benefits from what is clearly a corrupt process. I like to know the game is fair...the one refuge in life for such a thing.
 
Kane, Son and Romero top draw. Still confident with porro as he will push on next season being with a more positive play coach. Tbh I dont think hes used to defending so much. Attack minded wing back and has a free kick in him.
 
So, will we expect a weeks long shite from Talksport, BT Sport, MotD and anyone else remotely football related regarding how lucky we are , how we didnt deserve to win, Kane should leave and join another team ect ect
But this week, will we give a fuck?

NO WE FUCKING WON'T

COYS
 
Didn't see the game and the stats don't exactly cover us in glory.

But at the end of the day its a good win against a good side isn't it? Restores a little bit of pride.
That's about all the credit I can muster for this team right now.

Just a shame we lose our bottle when we play away for some reason.
 
If we ourselves can slag us off when winning, surely Sky can??

Happy Car GIF
All that kane bollox this week. Only time dyche can get in the news is slag off other players. Not on.
 
Beautiful win, will be looking forward to the spicy takes all week in the media about how robbed Brighton were.

Will say though, I think we’ve seen all we need to see with Tanganga. Marsh bypassed him like a hitchhiker on the roadway.
Good shout about Tanganga, he was dreadful.

Hard to pass judgement on someone when they only get minutes like once every 2 months, but ht's been really poor for what, 2 years now?

Both sides need to move on.
 
him and skipp getting exposed by being outnumbered in this system. worst position to play in this system, hard work being outnumbered
I don’t think they were outnumbered. We flooded the midfield area with players. So much so we had no one wide or forwards as options when we won the ball back. They have it easy tbh. Just shunting the ball sideways/back and not much space to cover defensively.
 
Shearer just said "dont have to play well with Kane and his Son up front"... So because we have 2 reasonable players up front we can play crap??? Bolloxxs Shearer you talk like my old nan... We deserve better.
